Jay Gruden next coach of Washington Redskins - NFL.com
Hard to copy and paste on this tablet, but several contacts with skins and unusually long term contract to bring Gruden in. I know it's conjecture one way or the other, but I guarantee you prior conversations and begging by the skins was done.

It's nonsense to think the skins were desirable for a HC with Snyder and Allen in charge. McC came later. Even now, Snyder's history is not encouraging. |
What does any of this have to do with begging Gruden? That was your point, that we had to beg Gruden to come here. He was hired so quickly after his season with Cincy ended that everyone claimed the Redskins had no interest in anyone other than Gruden, since Allen already knew him. Remember the whole good ole boy hire stuff that was thrown around. We can change the subject to my little pony if you like, it doesnt change the fact that we didnt beg Gruden to come here.
